Driver accused of killing woman kicks her, tells her to get up, TN officials say
A driver had alcohol and cocaine in his system when he hit two pedestrians and told a woman lying in the street with fatal injuries to get up, Tennessee prosecutors said.
After a five-day trial, a jury convicted 46-year-old Kenyan Roshad Warren of vehicular homicide, driving under the influence and reckless aggravated assault in the 2022 crash, according to the office of District Attorney General Charme Allen.
Information about Warren's legal representation was not immediately available.
Warren was driving down the road in Knoxville on Aug. 6, 2022, when he struck two pedestrians who were crossing the street, prosecutors said in a news release July 8.
According to police reports, a woman identified as Stephanie Llewellyn died of injuries from Warren's pickup truck, WVLT and WATE reported.
A man had serious injuries, including a major skull fracture, according to prosecutors.
Witnesses said before police got to the crash scene, Warren got out of his truck and walked over to Llewellyn, who was lying in the road, according to prosecutors. Witnesses recounted he kicked her, telling her to get up, then cursed at her and tried to drag her to the side of the road, prosecutors said.
When officers arrived, they said Warren threw a beer can under his vehicle in front of them.
'Warren smelled like alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and was unsteady on his feet,' prosecutors said.
A mandatory blood draw revealed his blood alcohol content was .106, and he tested positive for cocaine and marijuana, according to prosecutors.
He's scheduled for sentencing Aug. 20.
